I still think all the talk about a trillion dollar coin is SVNT.

But the fact that so many “credible” people are even halfway seriously considering it I think means something. Historically, this is the economic rhetoric of a slowly crumbling empire. I’m sure you can find plenty of similar analogues in recent history (decline and end of the USSR) and ancient history (decline and dismemberment of the Western Roman Empire).
